1st Field: Slave Address, Status Flags<br />
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0<br />
”1” master /<br />
slave<br />
error<br />
slave address 01...31, 00 = broadcast<br />
Bit 7: ”1” This bit must be set to logical One.<br />
Bit 6: Master / Slave: ”1” means that the message was sent from master to slave.<br />
The slave address addresses the data sink.<br />
”0” means that the message is a response from slave to master.<br />
Here, the slave address indicates the data source.<br />
Bit 5: Error During transmission master→slave always ”1”.<br />
During response slave→master erased if an error has occurred.<br />
(e.g. syntax error; not for CRC error since in that case there won’t be a<br />
response).<br />
Slave address 00 has a special function:<br />
00 addresses all slaves. No slave may send a response. Therefore, the master does not know if the<br />
message was completely understood by all participants. Nevertheless, this function can be useful for<br />
synchronizing all participants (e.g. to set clock). Afterwards, each participant can be individually<br />
checked if it has successfully received the respective message.<br />
2nd Field: Length<br />
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0<br />
”0” more length of message field and CRC16<br />
The length field indicates the remaining message length, i.e. length of message block and CRC (message<br />
+ 2 bytes). In the case of correct reception, exact length bytes must follow after having read the<br />
length.<br />
Up to 63 bytes can be transmitted in each block (61 data bytes and 2 bytes CRC). Longer transmission<br />
strings must be divided into blocks.<br />
The ”more” bit is set if another complete data block follows. In a block sequence, the ”more” bit of the<br />
last block is erased. If the ”more” bit is erased (normal case), the message is complete with this<br />
block.<br />
3rd Field: ASCII Message<br />
This message field contains the command to the <strong>Process</strong> <strong>Unit</strong> <strong>73</strong> <strong>LF</strong>. The message has the same<br />
structure as the string of the point-to-point connection (e.g. RV2). The message terminator is omitted.<br />
The message is immediately followed by CRC16.<br />
All characters in this field must have bit 7 erased (as 7 data bits, space parity).<br />
Interface Commands 12–31
